Today I have been having another look at QR-codes, and the reader that you can download to your phone.

Why not generate them for your library? It could be a very simple impementation,

• Encode a link (URL) for each subject area (class search maybe) that you have and place them around the library (there is the small caveat that your online catalogue should render readably on a small screen device ).
• Or perhaps have an encoded phone number printed on the datelabel, so that people on trains who suddenly realise their book is overdue can renew by phone. (Not limited to trains of course!)
• Or add them to the bottom of all your posters so that there is a web page offerring more event information or competition entry details.

This is SO easy, and you can make a mobile users life more interesting!

Tell me if you are doing this already?
